Abstract
Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is the only mechanical device that closely simulates the function of a biological urinary sphincter. Over the past four decades, advances in mechanical design, applications of new technology and lessons learned from clinical experience have made the AMS 800 device the standard of care in post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence.
